I am looking to add a browse button to a visual studio app something simular to the the dialog box in the ‘fileupload’ tool. I am looking to be able to graphically select any file from my computer or a computer across a network.

There is a
FileUploadcontrol…http://www.dotnet-webhosting.com/aspnet-2-0-tutorials/asp-net-2-0-fileupload.aspx
Otherwise, the SWF uploader is very popular if you want something richer: http://www.swfupload.org/
EDIT:
The
OpenFileDialogis a WinForms control and there is no equivalent in ASP.NET. When using aFileUploadthe browser knows to provide you with a file picker to browse your local system. There is no way to replicate this behaviour with some type of local ActiveX control. This is a natural and deliberate limitation of the web, the application should not be able to access your local file system apart from in exceptional and well-defined circumstances.
